the best streaming app there is—and a hot new thing in
YouTube Music, Google has released zero subscriber data and
therefore is often left out in comparisons with Spotify, Apple

downloads are growing slow but steady on iOS, while YouTube
Music downloads are on fire. That said, Spotify and Pandora are
still in the lead.
